Answer 1

Sure! I'll help you set up a simple table that displays the amount of time passed during your road trip and the distance traveled. To do this, we need to know the speed at which your car is traveling. For this example, let’s assume you are traveling at a constant speed of 60 miles per hour.

Here is the table with time in hours and distance in miles:

| Time (Hours) | Distance Traveled (Miles) | |--------------|---------------------------| | 0 | 0 | | 1 | 60 | | 2 | 120 | | 3 | 180 | | 4 | 240 | | 5 | 300 | | 6 | 360 | | 7 | 420 | | 8 | 480 |

Explanation:

• Time (Hours): This column shows the hours that have passed since you started the road trip.
• Distance Traveled (Miles): This column shows how far you have traveled based on the speed of 60 miles per hour.

You multiply the speed (60 miles/hour) by the number of hours to find out how far you've traveled at that time. For example, after 3 hours, you would have traveled \(3 \times 60 = 180\) miles.

Feel free to adjust the speed in the table if your car is going at a different rate!
